Fox=Pravda?

As part of their campaign against Fox, MoveOn is buying newspaper ads comparing Fox to Pravda for the Republican Party. One of the most annoying insults in their agitprop film “Outfoxed” is the repeated comparing of Fox News to the Soviet Union, even using the adjective “Stalinist” to describe how it doesn’t like employees assisting Michael Moore types. If you wonder if the film might be reasonable, it begins with hard-lefty Bob McChesney comparing the U.S. media system to “Godfather II,” in which the mob decides how to carve up Batista’s Cuba with a cake shaped like the island. That doesn’t even make the liberal media look good. They’re all capitalist running dogs, too, I guess, to MoveOn.
